Pollack, Robert

In "WONDER AND KNOWLEDGE - The origin of the universe and the role of wonder in scientific discovery," Robert Pollack explores the role of wonder in the pursuit of scientific knowledge. He discusses how the sense of wonder has historically driven scientific inquiry and the search for understanding the origins of the universe. Pollack argues that maintaining a sense of wonder is essential for both scientific discovery and for appreciating the deeper, often unanswerable questions about existence. He emphasizes that wonder bridges the gap between the known and the unknown, inspiring both scientific and philosophical exploration.
